The things I've been turning down are commodity microcomputers that

If something truly odd does come by, I've been known to hold on to it
so that someone else with a focus on that area can obtain it from me,
or I will point other collectors interested in that stuff towards it.
A local guy has Data General Eclipse MV/8000 machines. I posted to
this list about it, but noone ever contacted me to follow up on it.
I posted to this list about the VAX 11/750 that was at The Black Hole
and noone ever contacted me to follow up on it; Will Donzelli got it
in the end, but people here had plenty of time to get it before him.

Speaking for myself, I have entered a phase
familiar to anyone who has
started one of these computer museums: I am starting to actively
refuse or ignore certain kinds of items. You can't collect everything
and you have to focus on your core mission. Strictly speaking, I have
probably already gone too far away from my core mission (computer
graphics) in a few instances.
Do you do anything for the items that you turn down?
